Without the previous eye injury I highly doubt Brook would have wielded, it was more a mental stoppage, imagining the horror/effect of the eye surgery than the physical punishment, which was clearly also a big factor.

Having said that, Spence beat him fair and square. Over the course of the whole fight they were virtually equal, there was never a lot to seperate them, however, Spence maintained his relentless gallop. Also there's no reason why Spence wont be just as effective at 154.

Brook was getting mad respect from the American fighters the other week. Everyone apart from Eddie haters and Khan fans recognise Brook as the real deal. Over the next few years I suspect that fight will more and more prove to be Spence's toughest, closest test.
